2007 Awards: Best Travel Media Story
Must. Not. Mention. Kyla Ebbert. Oh no!
While the Girls of Southwest debacle was fun, there was a much bigger story line this year, and the travel media did a great job covering it for the most part. Airport Congestion, particularly at New York area airports, created delays across the country, cost airlines gobs of money and infuriated passengers who sometimes got stuck on taxiways for hours on end. It was, as it turned out, the worst year ever for delays, as problems affected everyone from soccer moms to Nick Nolte.
The story got so big that President Bush got involved, though his proposed fixes didn't do much. That left it up to the travel media, us included, to keep reminding you to avoid New York's airports whenever possible.
